For a long time I’ve planned to “become” a reloader one day. But I’m probably not going to do that. I have about 300 rounds of personally once-fired, de-primed, .300 WSM brass that I’d like to sell. Most of it (240 rounds) is the Winchester Supreme silver brass cases. The rest are regular...

Before I became a tractor owner I always walked past the “jumbo” tool rack and secretly wished I had a reason buy some. I now have wrenches and sockets up to 1.5”, giant crescent and pipe wrench’s, and a 30” breaker bar. The only sizes I get much use out of are the 1 5/16” and the 1.5” on...

Any suggestions out there for a decent respirator? Mid-tier priced? Right now my uses would be on Gly, 24D, Triclopyr, and Bonide on apple trees. I’d use it about 4 times per year with a backpack sprayer and/or atv sprayer. What are the attributes I should look for in a mask?

My wife had some time to kill and stopped at a yard sale out in the middle of nowhere Northern Wi. She met an elderly man and talked with him as she shopped the stuff he was selling after his wife’s passing and a whole lifetime together. She was bawling I’m sure 😂 He got to telling her a...

I’ve used my backpack sprayer without great success which leads to thinking of buying a fogger for spraying my mature trees. But I’m cheap….and I started thinking about a way to not spend that money on a single-tasker. I have about 30 mature trees up to about 25’ tall. But if you held your...

I have a JD4066R that is pretty tight in the cab but I’d really like to be able to carry a short barrel rifle in it while I’m out on the property. Possibly a pistol too, but a rifle for sure. Likely an AR platform (.22 or .223) or some sort of brush gun / guide gun….with a shotgun tube and a...

I really enjoy seeing other people’s food plot weapons. So post ‘em up! Implements too! I’ll start with a couple of my baby :)

I’m guessing it’s not the final word but I, for one, liked doing business with them. I planned to do more in the future because, in spite of the upfront pricing model, I felt they made the absolute best and I was willing to pay a little more and wait a little longer because I could 100% prove...

I know frost seeding is probably over discussed, but I’ve also never had a year like this. My plots will have no snow by Sunday (46f!!) and I was thinking of hitting it with some clover. The next week has the perfect freeze thaw forecast. But compared to when I normally frost seed this is...

I have about 3/4 acre of “yard” that needs mowing at our farm a couple times a year and it’s a pain to haul my mower from home to do it. I call it a yard and it is, but it’s very rough and it’s been hard on my “good” mower. So I’ve been looking around at used and new riding mowers in the sub...

Have you seen them before? I have in northern Wi a few times, but this year seemed like a bumper crop. These pics were taken over Christmas this year. They tasted very sweet with just a hint of actual cranberry flavor.

I’ve always had a couple of older guys who ask me for 15# of good venison trim to have a small batch of sausage made. No problem. But this year has been kind of crazy. As I sit here, having taken zero deer with my bow so far, I have 5 people wanting a whole deer. One is a BIL who just lost...

I’m sure this has been discussed before but, because of my job, I keep coming back to it. Assumption : That I start to lose nitrogen the moment I spread fertilizer and will continue to lose it to the atmosphere until water washes it into the soil. Nitrogen evaporates. Since I happen to know...

I can’t believe it….like winning the lottery!!!! Now I have to find an outfitter and make myself a little less round over the summer! Anybody here have and thoughts or advice for a guy on his first, and likely last, elk hunt in Utah?

I use my 25gal ATV sprayer (Northstar Boom) for all chemical applications at my place. Mostly Fruit tree stuff, Gly, 24D, and foliar fertilizer. Is there a better way to clean it up between chemicals than simply rinsing it a few times with clean water? I feel like I waste too much water...

We’ve had a record snow year that started in mid November buy burying thousands and thousands of real nice turnips in 2 of my 1 acre plots. Our first snowfall was 17” and it never let up until about a week ago when we got multiple 80f days in a row. It’s said we had 140” total but I can...

Check out my 15+ year old apple trees from this past record winter. Bears only destroyed 2 last fall…..about the same age. They haven’t had screen for the last 5 years and I thought they didn’t need it anymore. I was wrong. Just brutal. I talked to the guy at the local feed mill, and he...

I saw a YT video of a guy pruning apple trees with one. Up to 2” diameter! Very slick……my ‘order button’ finger started itching😂 I did a search and I must be late to this party because there appears to be around 10 of them out there already for sale. From under $100 chinesium, to over $1000...

I have about 5 acres of plots right now, more to come in the future I hope. My rocks aren’t as bad as some. I have ‘bottom’ areas in my plots where I barely hear a rock when discing, but other areas where there is a good number of fist-sized to volleyball sized rocks pushing up every spring...

My property has a large amount of NWC on it. I’m told by locals it was last logged sometime in the 50’s or 60’s. From what I can tell, after logging what appears to be some very large cedar, it re-grew as thousands and thousands of stump sprouts. So what I have now are hundreds of cedar...
